[hider=Archer Born Red] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/u3DklwV.png[/img][/center] [hr] [b]Titles:[/b] [color=ed1c24]The Red Hunter, Edom, The Hairy.[/color] [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Attribute:[/b] (Leave blank for now) [b]Alignment:[/b] Chaotic Neutral (Savage) [hider=Personality] A prideful man, a simple man. To live is to live, and to be stolen from is a slight no matter how one feels about what is lost. Live in the moment, flaunt your strength. Rage at those who oppose you, raise your might to that of the law and the natural providence. For those who were born strong it is only natural for them to attain what is theirs. A man who lives a very simple and straightforward life. His feelings however stemming from his base wants, enjoyment of idolatrous ways, and the earthly pleasures. Both lead him down him down his path and yet have a contradictory dissatisfaction with his fate. I do not wish for your covenant and those values. I wish for the talents I was born for and the wilds that please me so. I wish for naught but to live in the fields, to hunt and take what is mine and for me alone. Yet that inheritance is mine, and the sowing of nations is only natural. Even the most simplest of man find clash and conflict through their surroundings and the various desires they look upon the world. Archer is a man frustrated. Frustrated at the life he enjoyed and yet felt dissatisfied, plagued by lingering resentment and grudges. Matters that in the grand scheme of things do not matter, yet status and things taken from him. Trickery that has perhaps led the world for the better and yet even as he lives his own separate world he cannot help but keep an eye glimpsing at what could have been even without want. In the end he wants to walk a straight simple path, and yet also stand at the top of it. Really, it's not at all strange that he'd be attracted to a grail war. But perhaps even he does not know what his wish really is.[/hider] History: A brief summary of the history or mythology behind the Servant. Not much detail is needed, but cover any difference between agreed history and this interpretation, or which of multiple mythic interpretations you’re using. [b]Parameters:[/b] Strength: B+ Endurance: B Agility: B Mana: C Luck: D [hider=Class Skills] [b]Independent Action:[/b] A- It is possible to take action even without a Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the Master is necessary. At Rank A, it is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for about a week without a Master. For Esau who lived through his own strengths, was denied blessings and abandoned the covenant and path of god despite his status as the firstborn of Isaac. Turning away from such patronage, and taking a separate unintended path it is difficult to grant him boon or malus. For such a man, with his strength and body, stands in a sense, among the wilds, alone. [b]Magic Resistance:[/b] C Negates spells with a chant of two verses or less. Cannot defend against something more complex, like high magecraft or ritual curses. Walking not in the grace of god, and given what amounts to spiritual scraps. It is not surprising that despite the age and period of Archer, active when great mysteries were still abundant, that his magic resistance is still rather low for a Knight Class Servant.[/hider] [hider=Personal Skills] [b][color=ed1c24]Born [/color]of Red:[/b] A+ Esau, the red one, the rough one. All things are born bathed in blood, and many would mature and walk lives just as soaked as well. The culmination of his various techniques, gifts and way of life. His abilities as a hunter, as a man garbed in red are second to none. The one who runs aflock the sins and blood-stained earth and picks his fill of its bounties. His abilities as a huntsman able to stalk his prey, shoot down all targets, and lay traps are second to none. The pressure and influence of an enviroment has no bearing on the ability of the one who roams the earth as his playground. Through these skills does he show himself as a huntsman worthy of the title of Knight of the Bow. [b]Instinct:[/b] A- A keen sixth sense that permeates and directs Archer’s actions and life. Born from his innate senses and bolstered by his way of life. At this point it reaches into the realm of future-sight. The penalties by physical impedance such as visual and auditory interference and obstruction is halved. However due to the anecdotes of being tricked, and led by his base instincts there is a greater penalty against skills that turn his instinct and impulses against him. [b]Taste for the Wild Earth:[/b] B Born of great strength, stature and garbed in violent red. The secondary blessing inherited from Isaac, and his way of life have blended together to sublimate his existence as one who turns his back on the spiritual and embraces his talents and pleasures of the dirtied physical world. In all checks and contests physical a plus correction is given, while in matters more spiritual a minus correction is applied. Though he stands, tricked and turned from an intended path, where he sets his eyes on he suffers no equal. In the matters of Luck (Force of Providence) rather than luck (fortune and blessing) his ability and instinct to survive leads to instead a bonus. [/hider] [hider=Noble Phantasm] [hider=A Pot Traded] [b]Name: [/b]For We, Nations You and I. [b]Title:[/b] [color=ed1c24]Birthright [/color]Stewed in Red. [b]Rank:[/b] D+ [b]NP Type:[/b] Anti-Unit (Anti-Nation) [b]Range: [/b]- [b]Maximum Number of Targets:[/b] 1 [b]Description:[/b] Two nations struggle in the womb, and set themselves in odds. Birthrights are stolen and given, and blessings are past. Conflict, reconciliation, fortune and wealth of all sorts. The relation of brothers is as much about what they long for as it is what they were given. Their fates were intertwined in conflict before birth itself, preordained and yet a result of them as individuals rather than just the machinations of god. Once was Esau led by his brother to trade his birthright for stew. Twice he was tricked and denied by his brother, his place taken for the bestowment of a blessing. The representation of his frivolous feelings towards the intended inherited path, yet mixed with his desire to take what is rightfully his. On top of also being his status, mirroring his brother as a man that conceptually holds the status of a “Nation”. In the end his place is that of a giver who wants to take. Bestowing to one a gift of his blessing, one is raised to the level of Archer. In other words one reaches the status of a nation. Yet what is there to be given by Esau? The life of primeval-man, of a huntsman who abandons the spiritual path. From him is born civilization yet his state is the barbarism that eventually paves a path to the world. One becomes a nation out of civilization and reaches a state of a primeval barbarian as well. It goes without saying, but Archer has no fondness for this Noble Phantasm’s invocation. By the way lentils, considered a superfood are a nutritionally dense food, proper for any sort of man. Containing a balance of vitamins, nutrients, protein and carbohydrates they fuel and energize perfectly.[/hider] [hider=Edom] [b]Name: [/b]Savage [color=ed1c24]Eden [/color] [b]Title:[/b] Devouring Shot of Law and Path [b]Rank:[/b] A [b]NP Type:[/b] Anti-Civilization [b]Range: [/b] 1-99 [b]Maximum Number of Targets:[/b] 900 [b]Description:[/b] The surge of blood, the establishment of civilization paved paradoxically by the lawless savage rules. The laws of nature are conquered and are risen above, it is through conquering the world that man then moves onto crafting their own worlds. A shot that symbolizes Edom, fired by the Primeval Hunter, Esau. A rupting nation-building blow that paves away what rules and civilization are in place. Devour what lies in place and create fertile land. What lies at the end of his bow and sight is without a doubt, Edom. What he creates and feasts upon is without a doubt a earthly Eden that provides the lush foundation for his hunting ground and his the people and culture that springs from him. As a result it is paradoxically a builder of civilization that functions as a civilization-erosion attack. In a sense a progenitor and relative to the great tree that established the mighty Empire that Esau's people, the Endomites have been conflated and connected with. The world of Rome. The people and land that spread through savagery and eventually rose into civilization. Even from beasts (wolves) can man be born. [/hider] [/hider] [/hider]
